[opennms-install] Webapp not accessible

[<ro...@jo...>]

Hello everyone,

Working on setting up a new OpenNMS machine and have run into some
installation difficulties getting Tomcat to recognize the
webapp.

I followed the documentation online to install OpenNMS and it went
very smoothly.  Everything worked as expected.  OpenNMS and Tomcat
both start correctly.

When I hit port 8080 on the server, tomcat's welcome screen loads.  If
I try to get /opennms, I get a 404.  I configured users to access
tomcat's manager and admin applications.  In both, opennms doesn't
even show up as a recognized application.

$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/opennms.xml is a symlink to
/opt/OpenNMS/webapps/opennms.xml and looks correct to me.  If I try to
paste the context into my $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml, tomcat
refuses to start.  I get a Java exception that says failed to start
due to previous error message - but that's the only one ::-).

I'm using jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31 with Sun JDK: j2sdk 1.4.2_09 on RedHat
Enterprise 3.  Sun JDK is installed in /usr/local/j2sdk_1.4.2_09 and
JAVA_HOME is set thusly.

Any ideas on why tomcat is refusing to load OpenNMS?
